Managing Editor

What was the most rewarding part of being an Associate for Volume 47? 

Having an opportunity to learn skills that I will use in practice without the constant pressure to perform for grades.

Meet the Volume 48 Notes & Comments Editors

Sheena Denny, May 2022

Notes & Comments Editor

What did you do before you enrolled in law school, and how did you decide law school was right for you?

Shortly after the death of Philando Castile, I was listening to KMOJ when a caller asked, “where are the community leaders?” The host responded, “why are you not that leader?” I chose to go to law school to impact policy, but you cannot do that without first understanding it.

Meet the Volume 48 Editor-in-Chief and Associate Editor-in-Chief

Katherine Raths, May 2022

Editor-in-Chief

What did you do before law school, and how did you know law school was right for you?

Before law school, I taught high school English and Spanish. I started my career in Madrid, Spain, and ended it at Breck in Golden Valley, MN. After seeing the inequities that existed in the education landscape, I knew that I wanted to understand the systems that created those inequities. Ultimately, I believed that a background in law would better equip me with the tools to make change.

What are your goals for Volume 48?

I have three goals. First, we would like to see Volume 48 continue to put diversity and equity at the forefront of our work. Second, we hope to foster an environment where all Law Review members feel that they have an important voice and that their ideas are heard. Third, we plan to work with all members to create innovative online content.
